Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-Lieut. Joseph
S. Powell, of the signal corps, died at his
residence in this city this morning from
softening of the brain. He returned to
Washington about two weeks ago from
Omaha in obedience to orders, and was
placed under arrest on charges of duplicat-
ing his pay accounts. He was very sick be-
fore and after his arrival, and upon exam
ination by army physicians he was re-
leased from arrest, as their reports showed
that his mind was seriously affected and
probably had been for some time. Before
his return he had resigned from the service,
but subsequently withdrew his resignation
OIL the ground that it had been rendered
while laboring under an alteration of mind.
After returning he rapidly grew worse, and
his physicians had no hope OF his recovery.
He stood third among the signal service
lieutenants according to seniority, and was
the first officer appointed after competitive
examination. He had particular aptitude
for indications work, and as he was natur-
ally bright he made the best record on indi-
cations of any officer that has ever done the
work. A few months ago he was sent to
Omaha to take charge of the organization
of Western bureau for the Union Pacific

Secretary Banning.


WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE remain
der of Secretary Manning's effects were
taken from the treasury to-day. Both he
and Treasurer Jordan are out of the de-
partment now, yet the vacancies do not oc-
cur until the 1st of April, and the depart
ment is dragging out the period OF suspense.
There are many reasons for the belief that
Mr. Fairchild will be the secretary. and it
is said to-day that he now understands that
he is to be appointed. The officials in the
department are hoping that it may be so.
AS to the treasurership, it is still thought
that Mr.. Graves may be appointed. Mr..
Manning, who was to have sailed for
Europe tomorrow, may have to postpone
his departure for few days Oh account of
illness. He caught a severe cold before
leaving Washington. and was yesterday
confined to, his room at the Fifth Avenue
hotel in New York, symptoms of pneumo-
mia having shown themselves. Treasurer
Jordan, who is to sail with Mr.. Manning,
said there was nothing to alarm his friends
in Mr.. Manning's condition, but admitted
that the departure might have to be put off
a few days.
